In this episode, Ana and Steven have Wes come in to discuss trauma trigger responses and how we work through them in recovery  - without using drugs or alcohol. Trauma is an important thing to learn about and be aware of in yourself, and ways to handle it. Without that awareness we are blindsided by them and completely taken over.  Join us on our 49th episode of The Recovery Pod! We appr...

In this episode we discuss the flipside of not being special, which is to BE special! We talk about all the positives and negatives of seeing yourself different or unique, and the growth we've made in this progress. We also almost hit a deer...

In this episode Steven brings along his 13 year old son to discuss what life is like nowadays for a teenager in regards to peer pressure, knowledge of drugs, what's his perspective and experience with substances. We talk about the difference between drug programs of the past like D.A.R.E. and what they're like now, as well as some input on what they should be like. We also talk about why...

Another conversation of recovery on a lovely car ride with all the background noise and awareness we can provide! We discuss spiritual bankruptcy in regards to addiction recovery, how that plays a role in every area of our lives, and how becoming aware of ourselves can lead to long-lasting change.  Join us on our 46th episode - our entry into our second year of the pod!

Wow. A whole year. This experience has been amazing for us both and we are eternally grateful for the opportunity to provide this kind of hope and healing to the world. We have made friends, had revelations, and grown a lot personally in this last year, and it all happened right here with you. We appreciate the listens, love, support, and feedback we receive, no matter how much or little. Hopefull...

In this episode we explore the positive side to our character defects and behaviors, and what it takes to come to a place where we're ready to make changes with them. We discuss trauma, how it gets processed through the body physically, and ways to address it that don't involve the mind. Lastly, we close out the pod with dissecting the phrase "You can't love someone who doesn&a...

In a toxic relationship, it's common to deflect and project our issues onto the other person, but have we ever stopped to ask ourselves "Am I the narcissist here?" We dive deep into this idea and dissect it from all sides, and talk about experiences in our lives where we feel we may have been the sender or receiver or narcissism, and ways to identify areas for growth and change. Joi...

In this episode we invite back the Flower Boyz for a foursome pod with Ana & Steven to discuss multiple topics. We start with expectations, then lead into vulnerability, how a recovering addict needs to be vulnerable to share their truth and remain in a state of authenticity. We later discuss the nature of empaths, how we feel intensely and this can cause us to take on more than we can handle...

This episode is almost a mashup of sequels wrapped into one! We kick it off with time - does it really heal all wounds? Rolling into topics we end up discussing the Dark Night of the Soul concept again, this time in a slightly different way than last. We talk about what brings a person to a point of change and how getting in the way of that for others is basically denying them their awakening. We...

In this episode we talk about how the need to know quickly becomes the need to control. The ways we identify and seek safety through knowing, and the unconscious efforts our minds play behind the scene make for an interesting twist on the subject!  We talk about ego, unconsciousness, Cuban sandwiches, and a lot more!  Join us on the big 40!

In this episode the Flower Boyz link up again for a conversation about experience - how the spiritual foundation of connecting with people in recovery offers a currency like none other! The amount of insight, guidance, HOPE and awareness attained in a meeting or talking to a fellow addict who truly understands where you've been and who is going where you want to go is PRICELESS!  Join us for...

In this episode we discuss the power in choice. So many of us believe that we are automatically programmed to react certain ways - whether due to our trauma, childhood, conditioning, or simply because it's just "who we are" but that's bs. We have and make choices every day, and none of us are predispositioned to behave on default. Sure, an ingrained behavior may be 1000 times harder to change than...

In this episode we discuss what it's like to gaslight yourself. The ways our negative thoughts and self talk can create drama, anxiety, fear - and end up manifesting our worst nightmares! We break down the thought processes, how we involve others into our story dramas, and ways to combat the urge to continue to unconsciously speak these things into existence. Join us for our 37th episode of The Re...

In this episode Ana and Steven discuss the way we can see our old behaviors in other people, and how difficult it is to deal with them! We see these things in another and are instantly triggered, almost as if we are literally talking to our old selves and want desperately to get through to them and save them from themselves! This leads into conversations of self-worth, self-importance, self-respec...

After watching the Supervillain documentary on Tekashi 6ix9ine we felt moved to discuss the psychological processes behind attention seeking and toxic behavior. There is so much ego identity in celebrity fame and in this episode we break down the inner workings of this condition. The low self-esteem, trying to fill that black hole in your heart with attention and approval from others, and the unco...

When do you feel like you are enough? How do you overcome the conditioning of childhood trauma and subconscious beliefs engrained since you can remember? Is there a way to change from our thinking habits formed in active addiction and before? When will enough actually be enough? We talk about self-esteem, comparing ourselves to others, being raised in different ways and discuss tools for change in...

In this episode, we bring back Wes and Erik while Ana is working hard to finish her college degree to discuss how expectations can affect our acceptance and build resentment. That leads us into discussing our addictive behaviors, mistakes we've made, and how surrender led us to our serenity! Join us for the 33rd episode of The Recovery Pod and as always, thanks for your support.  Reach out to...

In this episode we discuss being around people who use, the processes that go on within our minds, and how that affects our serenity. The disconnection from self we feel when we disassociate from our feelings. We talk about jealousy, particularly how we can sometimes seem to get jealousy over people using, or even their unconsciousness - which is it's own mind****.  Join us in our 32nd episod...

In this episode, Ana takes a backseat and allows the boys to have a guys night out! Featuring our regular guest Erik and bringing on our new friend Wes for an all out introspection into the mind of a guy. We talk about what it's like to be a nice guy as opposed to a toxic a-hole, a little bit about how we were raised and conditioned to be, and ways we changed from our old norms. We touch on denial...

In this episode we touch on gaslighting, and what it means to gaslight someone... in recovery! How is it that people can gaslight and manipulate others in recovery settings? What is a recovery ego, and where do I get one? And what different types of meetings are there and how do they affect my serenity? We answer all this and more in our 30th episode of The Recovery Pod.  If you'd like to hea...
